Eidos and TT Games (LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game) announced today the development of Bionicle Heroes, a new game based on LEGO's Polynesian mythology-inspired characters. The new title is being readied for PlayStation 2, PC, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Gamecube.

Players take control of a young hero as he steps out of the real world and into the Bionicle universe. You'll have to master the powers and special abilities of the elemental heroes in order to overcome the game's challenges.

"2006 is a huge year for Bionicle. We are providing strong levels of support for the brand in 2006 and we are excited that the same winning team behind the success of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game is making the official Bionicle videogame," said Jay Bruns, Dir. of Global Partnerships and Alliances for LEGO Group.

Bionicle Heroes is being put together for an autumn 2006 release. Stay tuned for more details.
